Ball State is one of only 125 colleges and universities that are members of the NCAA's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision.

Ball State teams have won or shared 100 Mid-American Conference championships since joining the MAC in 1975.

In Fall 2014, more than 60 percent of our student athletes achieved a grade-point average of at least 3.0. Almost one-third had a 3.5 GPA or better.

Eight of Ball State's athletic teams posted an Academic Progress Rate score of 990 or better on a scale of 1,000. Every team achieved a mark of 957 or better.

We are committed to our student-athletes.

"This
is truly a great time to be a Ball State Cardinal. Our alumni and friends have
made it clear that they want our student-athletes to enjoy a first-class
experience at Ball State, and the generosity from these supporters has pushed
us closer to making this a reality. Cardinal Commitment funds improvements to
many athletic facilities that will benefit our campus and constituents for
decades to come."
- Brian Hardin, Interim Director of Athletics
